SAN DIEGO -- Its been a lost season for the San Diego Chargers, on the field, in the trainers room and at the ballot box.The Chargers have their bye this weekend, allowing them to rest up and perhaps ponder the train wreck of a year theyve had so far.Theres a lot to take in, even if 4-6 doesnt seem so terrible compared to San Franciscos 1-9 or Clevelands 0-10.Theyve blown fourth-quarter leads at a dizzying pace and lost numerous players to season-ending injuries, including wide receivers Keenan Allen and Stevie Johnson; running back Danny Woodhead; linebacker Manti Teo; cornerback Jason Verrett; and nose tackle Brandon Mebane.The Chargers were dispatched last Sunday by a winning 60-yard pick-6 with 61 seconds left by Miamis Kiko Alonso, the fourth interception of Philip Rivers in the fourth quarter.Safety Darrell Stuckey equated that loss with taking a shot under the chin.Has he ever seen a season like this?Yeah, Ive been here seven years. Of course I have, Stuckey said.Hes got a point.Barring a stunning turnaround, the Chargers will miss the playoffs for the third time in four seasons under coach Mike McCoy and for the sixth time in seven seasons overall. Theyve lost 18 of their last 26 games. Their next game is at Houston on Nov. 27, daunting in the sense that the Chargers have lost 12 of their last 14 road games.Despite all that, McCoy gave the Chargers the whole week off. Then again, they probably needed to get away from it all.The Chargers are buried in last place in the AFC West, the NFLs toughest division. Theyve split with the Denver Broncos but lost on the road to Kansas City and Oakland.

Were going to play all six of them and see what happens. Obviously, theres still a lot of football left.The Chargers had hoped to get back to .dddddddddddd500 by the bye, but the 31-24 loss to Miami prevented that.Its already going to be a tough road and this makes it even tougher, Rivers said after that loss. But well heal up a bit, get a few guys back and fight like crazy down the stretch.Theres turmoil off the field, too.Voters rejected Spanos ballot measure for a new stadium by a resounding 57 percent to 43 percent. Spanos was asking voters to approve a $1.15 billion subsidy in the form of an increase in the hotel occupancy tax to help fund a stadium and convention center annex downtown to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley. While campaigning for the stadium, Spanos surrogates werent shy about reminding voters about the teams option to move to L.A.Spanos said hell take his time deciding the teams future and wont announce any decisions before the season ends. His options include negotiating a new deal with Mayor Kevin Faulconer or moving to Los Angeles to join the Rams in a stadium in Inglewood scheduled to open in 2019. That was his consolation prize after fellow NFL owners defeated his plan to join with the Raiders to build a stadium in the L.A. suburb of Carson.One bright spot for the Chargers is running back Melvin Gordon, who has bounced back nicely from his miserable rookie season. Hes scored 11 touchdowns, nine rushing, and is third in the NFL with 838 yards. He had a career-high 196 yards rushing in a win against Tennessee two weeks ago, plus four catches for 65 yards.Rookie Joey Bosa had four sacks in his first four games.
